The main problems with the updates of the aic7xxx driver in Linux is that I have no control over what versions are adopted. The particular bug you are talking about was fixed almost immediately after it was found, but it took almost 2 months to get the changes adopted by Linus and distributed to the majority of the community. Fortunately, FreeBSD doesn't have those kinds of issues. -- Justin To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
